Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 1 tablespoon Avocado Oil Adds moisture and helps prevent sticking; olive oil or melted butter also work great.
  • 1 medium Red Onion Provides flavor; shallots or green onions are perfect substitutes.
  • 1 medium Red Bell Pepper Brings color and sweetness; you can replace it with any bell pepper or zucchini.
  • 1 pound Ground Breakfast Sausage Offers rich protein and flavor; ground chicken or turkey are good alternatives.
  • 1 tablespoon Minced Garlic Enhances the overall flavor; garlic powder can be used if you’re in a pinch.
  • 6 large Eggs Binds ingredients together; try flax eggs for a plant-based option.
  • 1 teaspoon All-Purpose Seasoning Adds flavor enhancement; any multi-purpose seasoning blend can work.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt Boosts overall taste; adjust based on your dietary needs.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper Adds a touch of spice; feel free to substitute with white pepper.
  • 1/2 cup Cottage Cheese Provides moisture and additional protein; ricotta can be used for a different texture.
  • 1 1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour Gives structure to the biscuits; gluten-free flour is a great GF option.
  • 1/2 cup Almond Flour Adds protein and moisture; additional all-purpose flour can substitute if needed.
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder A leavening agent that helps the biscuits rise.
For the Topping
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheese Adds creaminess and flavor; swap for nutritional yeast for a dairy-free option.

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for High-Protein Egg Biscuits
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather all your ingredients to streamline the cooking process.
  2. In a large skillet, heat a splash of avocado oil over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and bell pepper, and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened and fragrant. Then, add the ground breakfast sausage and minced garlic. Cook for another 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sausage is browned and cooked through. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, all-purpose seasoning, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
  4. In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, almond flour, and baking powder; stir until well incorporated.
  5. Gently fold the dry flour mixture into the egg mixture until just combined. Add the sausage and vegetable mixture along with cottage cheese, ensuring everything is evenly distributed.
  6. Using an ice cream scoop or a 1/4 cup measuring cup, drop portions of the biscuit dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Sprinkle shredded cheese over each biscuit mound.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-21 minutes until golden brown and firm to touch.
  9. Allow biscuits to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm.
